Garden of Hespirides silver coin (2023 Mint of Poland)

Garden of Hespirides silver coin (2023 Mint of Poland)

The Garden of Hesperides is a mythical paradise steeped in ancient Greek lore. Located at the western edge of the world, this garden was said to be home to the Hesperides, nymphs who tended to the exquisite golden apples on a sacred tree. These apples were believed to grant immortality to those who partook of their fruit.

The garden was not only a place of extraordinary beauty but also symbolized the boundary between the mortal realm and the divine. It was guarded by a fierce dragon named Ladon, making access to its treasures incredibly challenging. The tales of Hercules’ eleventh labour are closely associated with the garden, as he was tasked with obtaining one of these coveted golden apples.

The coin is one of this mints classic two-ounce, antiqued silver efforts, replete with high-relief, and depicts Nymphs intertwined with a serpent, laying on the ground of the garden. In an unusual change for the mint, the antique finishing is applied in two shades, with the main characters done in a standard black finish, and the rest done in blue. The apples on the tree are picked out with gilding.

It all looks decent enough, and the mixed antiquing has future potential, for sure. The obverse is a standard one for a Niue issue. The coin comes in a latex-skin ‘floating frame’, and has a mintage of 500 pieces. It’s available to order now.
